The night before last, my own laptop got infected with some sort of virus or malware that prevents me from accessing several things on my computer, which includes any internet browser. It somehow managed to get past my anti-virus software, which is definitely a pain in my tail.
Right now, I am attempting to get it fixed, either by having someone recode the virus coding to render it useless, which means the coding will technically stay on my laptop but no longer be an active virus, or I'm hoping to rescue what I need so that I can reset the computer to factory settings and start at ground zero. [Though it currently blocks all additional usb devices from operating.]
This would be the second attack like this that my laptop has taken on, and I am not pleased at all. Apparently, my luck with viruses is just terrible.
Secondly, since yesterday, the electric company has been coming out to replace the poles that the power lines run across. The power was out for most of the day yesterday though, lucky for me, I wasn't home. This is supposed to happen again today and tomorrow.
Basically, I am posting this to say that my being on for the next few days will be a little iffy. It all depends on when my laptop gets fixed, when the power goes out and comes back, and if I can borrow anyone's laptop when mine isn't working.
No, I have not forgotten about anyone's roleplay, which it may have looked like yesterday, it is just a matter of being able to actually get on and reply properly.
Because of this incident, the Halloween Event may stretch on even after Halloween. We'll have to see just how much time we loose.
Sorry everyone. Luck just doesn't seem to be on my side. I think I need a Jirachi. DX
